BACON JALAPEÑO POPPER EGGROLLS:

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, jalapeños, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
   • Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you.
   • Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center of the wrapper.
   • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll up tightly to seal. Use the beaten egg to seal the top corner.
3. Heat the Oil:
   • In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil over medium heat. You’ll need enough oil to submerge the egg rolls.
4. Fry the Egg Rolls:
   • Once the oil is hot (about 350°F or 175°C), carefully add a few egg rolls at a time. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
   • Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
5. Serve:
   • Allow the egg rolls to cool slightly before serving. They’re delicious on their own or served with ranch dressing or your favorite dipping sauce!
